I should have bought this game long ago...I purchased SWAT 3 EE three nights ago and whenever I have time I seem to go to work again (in swat 3) It is by far the best game I have played on the PC thus far (and thats saying something to me) perhaps it is because I respect the design team for all the little things they put in and the fact that it stays true to life for the most part....vrey addicting to me and I fall in that "oh I can do a little better then that" syndrome.....love it.....

Haven't bought it yet... is it really THAT good... or another Rainbow 6 ripoff?

I didn't like it. It's so slow, linear, and boring. You don't see your gun (kiss of death for me) and there's no tension like INF. Nice graphics, s<b></b>hit gameplay. :hmm:

I bought some version of swat 3 some time ago...

It was ok.

I rather liked the slower pace of things, and i liked the NPC's. I just wish that they didn't follow a linear pattern of game development. I mean granted if they did a realistic / random level progression most of the time you'd be servering warrent's for arrest... maybe some drug busts.. but i think that could even be handled properly.

The engine seemed to run kinda choppy on my old pc (500mhz) which wasn't to say that it wasn't playable but when the graphics didn't look all that much better than Half-lifes it was kinda annoying.

I didn't mind the lack of a viewable gun, but i always felt that the rate of fire was always slow.

It kicks the ass of R6's tactical simulations. An analogy would be, SWAT3= Inf. R6=SF type tac sims. Though I do wish you could plan your mission better in SWAT 3, time permitted.

Kibbles- I can really appreciate this game due to my back ground (K9 and member of Fresnos VCSU, Violent crime surpression Unit) but to me (no disrespect to INF) I like it more then INF in many ways. I have R6 and I dont think it is another rip off of R6 because they are different in many ways. I also love the com. in Swat 3 EE...so easy to use. I agree with Wikkan 100%...Swat=INF and R6=SF in comparison....also I do wish you could plan out an assault (including High ground placement) before you enter...maybe in SWAT 4 (or a SWAT 3 exp.) maybe even be able to play the high ground. I have to say this is my fav. on PC (beating CS and INF by a little...even if INF and CS is MODS 8)) The depth in this game is great...I think kibbles should give it a go.



FYI I too wish your gun was visible but then again I am now spoiled by INF.....I hope if/when they make a swat 3 exp. or swat 4 they use a system like inf (aim through iron sight or whatnot) That would make it top notch.
